'Ideas That Changed The World' to be examined by BBC World News

Ideas That Changed The World, narrated by BBC Click's Spencer Kelly and sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank, features a series of experts and specialists, including chef David Chang, astronomer Seth Shostak, former white house doctor Connie Mariano, author Oliver Sacks and former UK Chancellor Alistair Darling, all giving their perspective on a particular aspect of six key areas - architecture, flight, food, communications, medicine and economy. The experts will examine not only how the topics covered have changed our world but will look ahead and give their predictions on how they see their areas of interest developing in the future.

Paul Gibbs, BBC World News Head of Programming, says: "There are so many things in our civilisation we take for granted. Ideas That Changed The World looks at the impact some great ideas have had on our lives. Our experts and specialists will also share their visions for the future and tell us what developments they think will have the most significant impact for the years ahead."
